was wondering if it would be possible to maybe come up with a wool Tradgang hat to sell in the Tradgang store? you know the type i mean that you can pull down over your ears. i know many of us would wear them as the extra warmth during late fall/winter is needed. i would think that they might be right on pat or cheaper to have made then the baseball cap? just an idea for ya.
I'll second that.
This should have been a poll question.
I'd be interested in one.
i ask becouse this time of year it is about all i wear and it would be nice to have a Trad Gang wool hat.
heck yeah! i would buy me one
I would love to see a short billed Stormy Crommer Tradgang hat! My bald spot gets a little cold this time of year:) But I would settle for a nice wool tradgang hat of any style.
Stormy Kromer has done custom embroidering for us (at work) in past years. They do a very nice job and reasonable pricing.
Either one I would buy, but would prefer a Kromer.
Yip great idea!
I like the sound of that! I am looking at a wool hunting cap right now and I cannot shoot with a regular billed cap on forward I have to turn it backwards. The short billed stormy cromer looks good but, I wondered if I could shoot with it forward. Ben
i also love the Kromer but i had suggested the wool as i believe it would be A LOT more cost effective to have made, embroidered and shipped. would be very happy with either but i believe the wool cap would me a much easier way to go.
Great idea ADK...
Terry, I'm in for a couple !
I had the same reservations about the Kromer. Haven't put the bucks in for the experiment. But I KNOW a knit "watch cap" works, though, and isn't so sensitive to whether one is a fat or a pinhead.

I checked out the web site for Stormy Kromer and noticed they have a flex fit hat. Ordering these would keep from having to stock numerous sizes. Also there is a contact number for custom embroidering in the FAQ section.
As far as the bill goes, they are soft and don't interfere with my shooting. Could interfere with others though.
pretty much any bill bothers me but i often wear a fedora and just deal with it. as i said i would be extremly happy with either but as i stated i feel a wool hat would be rather hassel free to make, sell and ship.
I did a search for wool hats. They are not cheap. The cheapest was a wool watch cap $19.95 the most expensive $142.00 for chasmere.
I have been to the Stormy Kromer plant in MI, they are expanding there product line. Stormy Kromer makes some high quality caps, with or without bills. But, they can cost anywhere from $20.00 to $35.00.
I would love a wooly too. Who was involved in the current hats terry? I'll ask a friend a few questions to see what's available. Skippy
I'm in. My little boy got me a Stormy for X-mas. It is too big so I am on my way to take it back. Nice hat. Was clearance for $19, original $39.
I hunt with a Kromer hat all the time. You can turn them around just like a ball cap. :goldtooth:
I like the watchcap idea, if I need a bill I usually put the watchcap over the top of my ball cap. Once the weather dips down a bit, my fleece watchcap from Cabela's (AKA the "the lucky WINTER hat" not to be confused with the lucky summer ball cap) is on my head from start to finish.
Killy's got a nice lookin' one on that noggin.
I have the "perfect" hat for late season bow hunting. I'll put a pic on here in a few
I also have a problem with any brimmed hat, but a wollen watch cap would be perfect with the Trad-Gang logo on it. I would buy one or more.
I love my Bass Pro Expedition fleece watch cap!!!
a trad gang logo'd watch cap would be cool. I'd buy a couple.

I'm in!

$19.95, wow, i looked as we went into Wallmart, Stewarts and Price Chopper, all 3 had wool hats between $6.99 and $9.
I just got a Kromer for Xmas. I believe it was 35.00

Don't get ahead of yourself guys...Terry's away on the Solana hunt and any new items in the TradGang store is strictly his and Rob's decision. You need to proceed on this by contacting administration when Terry gets back.
Just throwing around Ideas Dick. I'm sure everyone knows it's Terrys decision to make. The guys and gals are just saying what they would like to see made available
Hey no problem with a discussion...just that a couple of guys are already trying to order. Just wanted to remind all that adding any items to the store will require an initial outlay of cash and time. That's why administration should be contacted to see if they have the funds and extra time needed for this project.
i just wanted to throw it out there, i should have pm'ed a Rob or Terry which i will do but i'm sure they are aware by now, i see Terry is on a hunt though.
Also curisoity got the better of me and i went back to WallMart to go in the winter clothing. wool hats both thick and thin are $1.40 and they are a very durable wool hat so i know you could buy in bulk somewhere if not buy them all straight from WallMart at a good price.
